Seems partnerships was the way of the industry before the birth of a new rival.

Apparently Microsoft tried to partner up with Nintendo for a gaming partnership, but the deal never happened. They tried the same with Sony with the same results which in the end brought forth Xbox.

For those of you who don't know, Sony tried partnering up with Nintendo, but when that deal fell through it gave birth to the Playstation.
 
I knew about the Sony an Nintendo deal that went a rye. That gave birth to the first Playstation. That brand alone has outsold both Nintendo, Sega, and Microsoft for the next 2 decades. But can you imagine if they really did make a partnership?

The way I read it is that the heads of the companies back then, wouldn't allow giants to cooperate so easily. Too head strong in the visions that they had. Sony forged ahead and created it's own console which is now spelling doom for Nintendo.

I be in cloud 9 if Nintendo did everything today combine with Sony's IPs on their hardware.
